Geograpâ€" hically it is located in latitude 44 degrees north, in longitude 80 degrees, 40 min. west of Greenwich. â€" Because of its Story of Egremont‘s Early Days great altitude, the climate, though sevâ€" ere in winter, is very bruinf and heal thy. _ Holstein, its principal village, is 1336 ft. above sea level, whileat Boothâ€" vilie in the nortn east, it is about 1380 feet. The township is in the main rolling afew hilly spots being found in the north west corner. . It is well supplied with streams and sfrings, furnishing clear, healthâ€"giving water.

It has ruins of a massive Norâ€" man castle and one of Englaed‘s sons is called ‘Lord Egremont.‘ Because of its unequal sides and angles, Egremont might well be called a ‘Trapezium.‘ Its western boundary is very irregular. Its greatest width from east to west is in 2 . line with the [1ith ard 12th concessions to the long swamp on the Garafraxa Rd, length about 9.6 miles. â€" From north to south the distance is approximately 11} miles. As far as we can determine fromthe latest map published by the Department of the Interior, Egremont‘s boundary has only one right angle, that of the north west corner. According to a report published by the ntario Gov‘t in 1880, Egremont was first settied in 1840 and by the same reâ€" port is said to contain 71,319 acres of land, but according to our assessment roll the number of acres is 72,562. Surâ€" ely a growing time in this municipality 1 The assessed value of the Township is nearly two million dollars, By reference to the same Gov‘t report the population in 1880 was 3780. _ It is ow given in our Assessment Roll as being in 1921, 2477, a decrease in 40 yrsâ€" of 1303, a large decrease indeed. Many of our young men went to our western provinces, since the Gov‘t report of 1880 was published, many more left the farms to help fill up our ever increasing city and town populations, the lure of the city drew also many of our young women, and a!l this with a falling birth rate, accounts for the decrease. As a proof of this large decrease between 1880 and 1921. the writer has made an enumeration of the population on one and one half miles on one of our conâ€" cessions and finds that it is not q_Fite fiflty per cent of what it was then, This is very much to be regretted. It is not our purpose here to assign causes for this falling off of rural population which is not confined to Egremont alone, but without doubt it should occupy the atâ€" tention of our wisest statesmen. There is not enough help on the farms and production is not what it should be in this favored township, nor in the provâ€" ince generally. At the time it was surveyed into lotll for settlement it was, with the excepâ€"| tion of a few small lakes and some heavy meadows, covered with a very heavy‘ growth of timber. ‘The dry lard timber consisted of maple, eim, birch, beech.‘ basswood and hemlock and a goodly number of ironwood trees, some butterâ€" ( nut and cherry and a very little oak. ‘Tne wet lands or swamps were mostly covered with cedar, balsam, Spruce and tamarac. As there was no sale for the timber, though of grand quality, it had to be burned to get the land ready for the crop. Cutting down the trees was done in winter, big limbs were chopped off and the trunk cut into lengths to be ready when a slack time came in sumâ€" mer to be "logged" â€" i. c., drawn togethâ€" er by oxen, rolled and hoisted by four men with handspikes into heaps, and fire did the rest. Logging "bees" in summer were common events, but the story of such a bee will appear later. baillteam. _ If they win another the cup is theirs to kâ€"ep. ‘That wo:d "if". Time willtell.
